to receive her, though she was neither

a long, sling snake appeared-wrig-
Cling and squirming, and as | looked
on in fright and horror, the head
gradually assumed the appearance Of
human one, with human face, and
strange to say, a familiar one. l ran
from the room, only to meet another
writhing and twisting serpent, with
also human head and face, but not
one that had ever known.
Then young girl seemed to enter
the room, and the first snake crawled
upon her dress, and up to her shoulder,
and Just as it opened its human mouth,
and licked out a forked, snaky tongue
almost in contact with her fair, deli
cate neck, | sprang to her side, and
seizing the reptile with both hands,
dashed it from her, and through the
door, when mans foot was placed
upon its head, crushing it to death
then the other snake came crawling in,
and wa. crushed beneath the heel of
a heavy boot. Then screamed out
in my Joy and relief, and awoke to
find myself sitting straight up, and
tightly grasping the curtain Of my
bed, and still trembling all over like
leaf. The memory of this uream
came back to me afterwards [

The Barronville carriage rolled on
with its solitary occupant, and | soon
found myself face to face with the
mistress Of the large, gloomy looking
house which was to be my abode for
knew not how long.
Mrs. Barron was a tall, gaunt wo-
man of large frame, and very large
features Her hair was black, but
she wore spectacles, and displayed a
large mouth well filled with false teeth,
and her hands and feet were fearfully
in proportion with her enormous
mouth, and her long pointed nose
She ought to have had sharp black
eyes-but they were indescribable In
color, and seemed to vacillate between
a dull gray, and a lively green. She
received me with mixture of conde.
scension and of rather coarse familiar
ity, hardly knew whether she wished
me to feel at ease as her equal, or il
she desired to impress me with sense
of her infinite condescenslon In re-
ceiving me at all. But | felt sure
that [ could never either trust, or hkt
her, and 1 found myself mentally
comparing her, and greatly to 'hel
disadvantage, with the refined and
true-hearted woman who had taken
the lonely stranger SO readily into
her home and her heart. She did not
come to meet me, but received me
within the family sitting room, the
tootman having ushered me through
the hall, and announced me as tn
school miistis." Mrs. B. rose very de
liberately, and gave me a cold, clam
my hand, then ordered the servan

SECRETARY LAMAR MARRIED.
A Private Ceremony at the Home of
the Rride In Macon.


MACON, Ga, JAM 5.-Secretary La
mar was married this morning at ten
O'Clock at the residence OF the bride
by the Rev. William Park, of San
dersville, to Mrs. VIM S. Holt, of Ma
con. Those present at the marriage
were Captain r. f. Parker and wife,
w. Ii. VIRGIN and wife and Colonel |.
E. Jones and wife, the ladies being the
daughters OF the bride; DR. L. NJ
Patterson and wife and Major W. H
Ross and wife. At 10 o'clock the
Secretary and bride entered the par
lor with joined hands. The ceremony
was brief and original, lasting only
two minutes. Congratulations follow
ed. The bride was dressed in steel
gray silk and ornaments Of diamonds
The Secretary and bride left here at
go this afternoon to spend the even
ing with Governor Gordon and to-
morrow morning will leave for Ok
ford, Miss, to visit relatives Of the
Secretary ard then 20 20 Washington
The present Mrs. Lamar is daugh-
ter Of the late James Dean, Of Macon,
and in early life was one of the beau.
ties Of the South. She grew to woman
hood among the feudal-lile institutions
which flourished in that section before
the war, and was courted and loved by
half the sons Of the neighboring plant
ers. Surrounded by every luxury
that wealth could buy, she was not
eager to yield her heart to any man.
The two most prominent, as well as
most persistent suitOrS for her favor
wele the hero Of yesterdays occur
renee and the late Judge Holt, whose
efforts secured the favor of the parents
and gained the consent Of the maid
and the two were finally united in
marriage. After mourning for sever
| al years, Mr.. Lamar also married,
and, though both were faithful to their
marriage vo"s, it is said that each
cherished the memory Of the other
through life. The pale student, with
his intellectual face, crowned by its
masses of dark curling hair, who had
taught her in his wooing the courses
of the stars, held an interest TO Mrs
/ Holt that not even her wealthy and
devoted husband had, and when he
died and the wife Of the Secretary was
also laid to rest, the two turned to
each other without reserve
At the time Of General Holt's death
he was the head of a Georgia railway
company and one of the richest men
in this section His vast wealth was
bequeathed to his widow who, in turn,
has carefully guarded it and added to
it by shrewd investment. Two chill
dren of her first marriage still survive
and it was their opposition to the sec
ond union that is said to have occa-
stoned its postponement last summer.
Although over As years old Mrs. La
mar has preserved her youthful beau
ty to a remarkable degree, ard with
her tact, intelligence and grace VIII

addition to his fortune which his wife
will bring will enable him to enter

ever done heretofore. Mrs Lamar

A united Work for Agriculture.

| A United Work for Agriculture.
We take note of much discord and
friction which seems to be rife just at
present in some OF our agricultural instl-
tutions, and in those agencies which should
only be devoted to the good of our great
est and best industry, that OF agriculture.
And although entirely outside OF this little
souall we cannot look on and see it gath
ering, without expressing the hope that 1t
threatens greater evil than will come to
pass. and that it may speedily give way
to the bright sunshine OF harmony and
prosperity.
The calamity which befel the State Col
lege herd of the most valuable stock.is one
to be deplored by every good citizen, but
one winch so far as we believe no human
nature was able to foretel or
prevent In the result which followed
the outbreak OF this diseased great loss
was suffered to the institution and thus to
the State. But we think justice demands
that the animals or their value should be re-
placed to the managers OF the important
institution which suffered their loss: and
we believe it would give greater satisfac-
faction to our people if in the future herd
to be purchased number of choice ami
mails of different classes or breeds be
bought. than that they be all of one breed
! nc ,,,o. tho oaoo forn,or1v
We believe our State cannot
afford to Withhold its aid and
patronage to all the agencies and
societies for the encouragement and de-
velopment OF our agriculture, which she
has in the past SO wisely and literally
fostered. This a method of wise public
expenditure which is sure to bring back
its large dividends of prosperity and inn
provement. Our State college, expert
ment station, board of agriculture and
societies. with their fairs, institutes and
meetings for discussion are sources of
great material advance and development,
and their suppression or Gripping through
want OF the usual appropriations would
be a serious blow to one of the greatest
industries of our State. 1t may be that
improvements may be made in some OF
these matters-it would be strange indeed
if we had reached perfection at this point
in our affairs-but we believe that they
can neither be abolished or curtaled and
such plan find favor with the farmers al
large. who pay the largest part of the
taxes. We believe there is good work
enough for the agriculture and stock
breeding of Maine to be done. to enlis'
the energy and best effort of all these
agencies and workers. Union, good feel.
ing, and strong pull for Maine farming
should be the watchword of everybody
interested in our State.
